If you ever make your own burger patties, you might notice that sometimes the beef is rather wetter than you'd like it to be. Maybe you put bread crumbs in there. That's what my mother did. But I suggest that you throw in a few handfuls of oats. Yas'm. The oats suck up the extra fluids from the burger meat and help it all glom together. AND they add fiber to help the meat residue move through your intestine, and lower your cholesterol. If you eat burgers, this is a very easy way to make them healthier.
